I am not sure that data in request can be really useful in this case for 
a general solution. Have in mind parallel forking, when only one branch 
gets in failure_route, so if one branch gets 430 and and another one 
3xx, the one for 3xx is handled.

Maybe handling in onreply_route would be better. The field ruid might 
need propagation to dst set (and branch) -- that's unique identifier for 
location records, making very easy to find and remove desired contact.

Cheers,
Daniel
